Will power cuts in Kathmandu be a thing of history?

Nepal is the second richest country in water resources after Brazil. According to recent studies, Nepali rivers and the steep topography of Nepal supports to develop the biggest hydro projects in the world. Therefore, Nepal has a huge hydropower potential. Current estimates are that Nepal has a potential to generate about 40000 MW hydropower. However, till date Nepal has only produced approximately 680 MW of electricity. Despites it’s potential only 40 % people have access to electricity. The word “loadshedding” is familiar among Nepali people since they often face electricity crisis. Despite the capacity, Kathmandu Valley had been facing long hours of power cut; the power cuts would reach up to 16 hours a day in the dry season.
